A list of one-click deployment providers

As Wasya Co offers one-click deployments of several applications and stacks, it makes sense for us to track our competitors. Nothing is new under the sun, and turn-key web applications (appliances) have existed for quite some time. There are many, many solutions for deploying infrastructure as a service (IaaS, SaaS). Multiple industries support the general Installation & Provisioning specialization. Of note, Docker, which we use extensively in-house, provides "one-click" deployments at scale, and more. In this article, we list some of the modern (as of 2024) online services that offer application-level turn-key deployments.

Railway.app

They seem to offer a layer over Docker deployments.

As a reminder, everyone is either hosted on AWS, or something very very similar. The deployment/delivery task is mostly an infrastructure provisioning (aka devops) task.

Their most popular apps (templates) seem to be... custom node, custom python apps. This reminds me of Engine Yard - build your own app on a framework such as Rails, then use a "one-click" API to deploy it. It's not really one-click since it is a sequence of API commands. But that can be rolled into one deploy script, which does qualify as a one-click deploy, since the action of invoking the script is a single push-button action.

Conclusion: A nice competitor to what Wasya Co offers in-house.

Repocloud

They seem to provide one-click deployments of turn-key applications.

ElestIO

They offer one-click application deployments, such as: Wordpress and Drupal. 

Transparent pricing that appears to be a re-sale of AWS.
